Data is collected through interpretation, observation, interview and documentation study. From the results of the analysis and interpretation of the data obtained an indication that: (1) the roles of men and women in Genesis 1-3 are not equal, where men are still higher, according to the context in the agrarian society at that time (2) the role of men men and women in the family even though it is in the context of a networked society but still unequal, where men are still higher as in an agrarian society because the congregation still reads the Bible without knowing the context of writing (3) the Church still has not seen the role of men and women who equivalent as something important in pastoral care because it indirectly still preserves patriarchal views as in agrarian societies. From these findings it is recommended that (1) the congregation read the Bible according to the context because even though the message of the Word of God remains the same but the context and readers change (2) the church in pastoral ministry is advised to teach the congregation to read the Bible according to context, not to be constrained by the context at the time of writing The Bible but teaches the liberating Word of God and dynamic faith.]]>
